Tournament will take place Friday, May 14 at 10:00 pm EST, possibly spilling over to the next week.

Update: Tournament will continue on Friday, May 21 at 10:00 pm EST. It should finish then, but if it lasts longer than 11:30 pm EST for some reason, participants can leave without penalty and the tournament will resume the week after.

How it will work is that there will be as many rooms as there are referees. Each room will contain the referee, the two players for the current match, and any spectators that want to watch. Each room will have a password of SSA. A referee will whisper the two players when it is time for their match. Players should wait in the tavern or one of the tournament rooms.

Practice Channel

Tavern

Team, 1v1

Delag fight where both players use all of their skills

Reasons for the modifications:

No titles because I think cash shop titles are unfair and people who have cash shop titles have an unfortunate tendency to throw away their normal titles.

Mechanics are banned because they've done disproportionately well in past tournaments. I'm somewhat unsure about it, but this isn't a serious business tournament so I can experiment a bit.

Best of 7 instead of best of 5 because a DFO fight only takes 2 minutes.
